Unattended Noise Monitoring

NoiseScout displays the noise levels measured by the XL2 Sound Level Meter live in your web browser. The measurement data recorded out in the field is presented online in charts and dashboards. Multiple noise level meters can be monitored simultaneously within the map view, thus providing localized geographic visualization for all noise levels at a glance. Identified users can access all their projects, control their monitors or create basic view modes, allowing stakeholders to oversee their noise level data.

The XL2 Sound Level Meter is configured remotely. The NoiseScout monitoring solution reports compliance violations and data connection irregularities by email. Audio recordings of the periods with the highest sound level, as well as the ability to listen to live audio, assists with the identification of causes of noise. From this information, preliminary reports can be generated while the measurement continues. This facilitates quick responses to noise issues so that they are addressed before a non-compliance condition arises.

NoiseScout Unattended Noise Monitoring Solution

No data will be lost if communication to the NoiseScout Servers is interrupted. Measurement data is buffered for transmission at source on the XL2 Sound Level Meter. In case of any lost connection, the NetBox will synchronize the recorded data to the NoiseScout Servers as soon as communication is re-established. The NoiseScout Servers are built on a scalable architecture and the latest secure data center technology. The server network provides access to your data quickly and reliably.

NTi Audio manages and maintains the data synchronization and data storage for your convenience. This service is offered within an innovative “pay-per-use” credit scheme, providing transparent and predictable cost control. Usage is based on calendar days contained within the measurement data transferred from the XL2 Sound Level Meter to the server. Alternatively an annual subscription service is available.

NoiseScout provides reliable on-site sound level measurements. The power supply is monitored and low voltage levels of any connected external battery pack are reported. Immediate action to facilitate uninterrupted measurements can thus be taken. In case of an external power loss, the XL2 Sound Level Meter will continue measuring using its internal battery. Once the internal battery too is exhausted, as soon as power is restored, the XL2 will restart automatically and carry on with the measurement.

NoiseScout further maximizes the success of the survey by reducing the time spent preparing the client report. All data can be exported to the optional Data Explorer PC software for detailed analysis. The NoiseScout system leaves the consultant free to concentrate on their key responsibilities, such as producing the client report, even before the XL2 Sound Level Meter has been collected from site.
